The show is losing its chemistry and flavour. It still has its moments, but I think at this point I'm watching more out of loyalty to what it used to be and the hope that the quality will somehow return. The characters are becoming two-dimensional and predictable and the chemistry contrived. Producers seem to be aiming at a new audience - the lowest common denominator, at the expense of what made the show clever, fun, and original. I doubt I would have fallen in love with the show the way I did if it had started out like this. It's gone from brilliant to adequate.

Series 12 is even worse.....Jerry Standing also leaves the show and a gay ex-cop is brought-in. Yuuuuckckckck!

I enjoyed the old team. They were great. This team is boring.
I will not be viewing this show anymore.
